Happy New Year's {Eve}

Hello Lovely Readers. Instead of doing the normal  Friday Favorites post I'm switching it up a bit.  I was inspired by this post from Hammocks and High Tea which originated from this post from Design for Mankind and thought it was such a great idea I had to do it myself.  Instead of making a list of resolutions focused on things I want to do or change for 2011, I'm inspired to make a list of things about me I don't want to change at all.  

#1  Listening and following my gut, it hasn't failed me yet

#2  Embracing those life lessons that have taught me patience . 

#3  I love my personal mantra of "leap and the net will appear"

#5  Continue to nurture my natural curiosity to learn and do new things

#6  Don't stop enjoying the sweet parts of life and having that 2nd piece of cake  

I hope my list and the others linked to this post inspire you to do a similar list.  If you have a non goal for 2011 you'd like to share I'd love to hear it.   Have a wonderful and safe New Year's Eve and I'll see you next year.

Sweet Dessert Table Details

Happy Monday everyone.  I hope you had a wonderful weekend. Over the weekend I was thinking about desserts.  I'm sure this is because Christmas is right around the corner and what is the holiday without a bounty of sweet treats?  Well my thoughts on sweets lead me to think about  Weddings and dessert tables for today's post.  If you're thinking about having a dessert table at your wedding, finding the right pieces to display all those sweet treats is key.  Whether you're looking for colorful pieces or sweet sophistication, the lovely cake stands, bowls and platters from Sweet and Saucy Supply are just too lovely not to check out.

Whether you're looking for a simple cake stand or a collection of varied pieces you are sure to be inspired by this shop.

Friday Favorites

Hello Everyone.  I hope you had a lovely week.  It has been a bit hectic over here as I'm preparing to head home for the holidays and spend time with family.  This weeks list is a little short but you may find something to add to your gift list or to request from Santa.

Everyone needs a nice little pair of slippers to lounge around in

I love these little card cases and well a little sparkle is always welcomed

This is such a cozy looking sweater

Have a holiday party to go to? Here's a party dress

I can't resist a pretty tote

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.  I'll be on a plane heading west and hanging with my oh so fabulous niece.  Posting will be light next week, but I have a few pretty things to share before the holiday.

Friday Faves- Gift Giving Edition

TGIF everyone.  Well, Christmas is fast approaching and if you still have names on your list that need gifts this weeks holiday inspired favorites should at least give you a few gift giving ideas.

When it comes to gift wrap, this ribbon and a solid color paper is all you need.

I spotted the smaller version of this wallet on Oh Joy's blog and well just fell in love with this one.  **Santa take note**

Every house needs some fun games to play.  I think these will do the trick.  Oh and it may inspire a new game night tradition.

A nice perfume is always a lovely gift, and what makes it even better is when the packaging is as pretty as this.

If you have a friend who is sensitive to perfumes, twigscent is a perfect alternative

It's true you should never judge a book by it's cover, but how can you resist?

I'm sure there is a book lover on your list who will be delighted to receive one of these classics
{discovered here}

These may be a good little stocking stuffer for you

This would be a great pre-holiday gift for yourself, besides there's plenty of holiday events to attend.

This is completely unrelated to gift giving, but I think this will make frosting all those cookies a lot easier.

Well, I hope this sparks some ideas and crosses a few more people off your list or inspires new additions to your own wish list.  Have a wonderful weekend, I'll see you on Monday.
